My GF'S mom in particular is being very pressuring, I didn't care for it, I ignored it/humored it. My GF'S was down too, but about a month ago she started to slip. Recently after asking me why we wouldn't get married she goes "If we're going to be together forever, why not make it official" and "Do you not love our family" and "Why are you afraid to commit, you always need and escape route and things won't be the same forever" she doesn't usually talk like this, so I'm sure he moms is planting those words in her head.

Bad thing is she knows how much I dislike marriage, so I can't even brush it off with some we'll see shit, she wants a yes lol. There's no manual for this shit once it's actually in your face, TV and Movies have not helped me out all, or Steve Harvey. We live together, raise our son together, but heaven forbid being called someone's baby mama instead of wife, that changes everything.

Tell her you want a prenuptial contract and then see how bad she wants to get married. IF she doesnt care, shes not after your money

If you actually want to be a good dad and raise your kid with the mother, you should marry her. I'd hate to be a kid that has to explain that kind of BS just because dad is scared of responsibility and commitment.

Either way since you already have a kid I'd say do it just for the tax benefits honestly. And do like my man Kanye and holla you want prenups.

Common law marriage is the devil. She was fine with what we had too, but her mom's been going at her for 5 years now lol. I'm not stubborn enough to thing it won't happen, I can already feel the inevitability of it all. She's got my mom in on it too. They just take turns talking shit about me when we get together.

This, and if she gets to be too annoying go to family court and ask for sole custody of your son, then split town with your boy.

Better to be happy with your kid then risk being financially fucked.

Marriage should be a choice and agreed upon by all involved not something family, friends or your partner tries to force you into.

I however do plan on marrying the two women I am with, we already live together, are very happy, and after we did some number crunching found we have the funds to support 3 kids(I prefer just 2 tbh) without changing our lifestyle or hampering our vacations.

With three incomes and how our work days are set up it all works out to be not only doable but does not hinder our finances since I will be up for a promotion soon and the ladies are climbing the ladder of success as well.

Yes, yes it does. Every old man and woman want to see their daughter married. That's a relief off their back that chances are that she's in a safe and comfortable relationship and will be taken care of for her life. For your girlfriend, having a marriage is something she can take pride in, she'll have a guy who gave her tangible proof that he's committed to sharing his life to. There are a lot of women out there would LOVE to have that sense of security.

And have you considered looking into why the married men are not happy, and why the statistics are the way they are? Where I live, girls generally pay good money to have their nails done, and a lot of girls travel off island for cosmetic surgery so they can better attract hoards of guys in their direction. But none of the girls I've ever been interested in would ever do these things. The traits I find attractive are practically nonexistent in the types that would do those things.

Spotted the virgin

And tc is an idiot and belongs in therapy. Why the fuck this woman puts up with you, I have no idea. Marriage is a gesture and a contract. But the law already grants her legal rights as you two are effectively married already. So youre putting up with all of the downsides and none of the benefits while disrespecting your life partner and her family and providing your kid with a horribly unhealthy exposure to relationships. Congratulations

To be clear, this is really more what I think most of us are getting at. I don't think anyone would be like "hey TC get married against your will, great idea", it's more just confusion about what it is you don't like about marriage when you're living together and raising a child together. It's not like it's an issue of not wanting to be settled down.

i support your hatred for marriage, tc. don't let them force you into it. deal with it in your own way, but eff that pressure shit.

if she needs marriage and you don't want it, then you two aren't compatible. you're starting to see that now, i'm sure.

If I'm reading this right.... it sounds like it might end no matter what.

If you tell her absolutely no marriage, she might just end it, or back down, but then if her family keeps
the pressure, she might just resent you and end it anyway

if you get married, and it's as bad as you think.... well you break up anyway, or nothing
will changed besides a piece a paper that says you're together.
